Hibernation of Bears

So I'm always curious about how people find my blog. Sometimes they arrive from the strangest keyword searches. You'd think it would be something obvious like your name or your books but no. It seems that last week's most popular keyword search was Hibernation of Bears. Don't ask me why but apparently there were a lot of people needing information about bears last week. And for reasons that are not entirely clear to me, they thought they'd find helpful information about bears on my blog. Because I talk about bears a lot (insert sarcasm here). Oh, well. The more, the merrier, I've always said.

Other popular keyword searches have included Girl Power, Petunias, and my personal favorite, Funky Green Eyeglasses.

Happy you mentioned this as I've wondered the same. About a year ago, I wrote a post about Okinawa (that I thought was bland and almost didn't post) but it's got thousands of hits. I'm clueless as to why.

I get odd searches too. About a year ago, I posted a short post about a haunted house that I used to live in. To this day that post gets the most attention. Many people search for haunted houses and stumble upon my blog.

Another popular search for me is hunky men. I used to do a segment every Friday where I used to post pictures of hot men. I still get visits for that.

Besides that, many of my searches (besides my name) are related to sex. I feel bad for the men searching for three-way porn or large (insert body part here) and finding their way to my blog instead. I don't know why I have those kinds of searches lead to me. I think that is due to many guest authors sharing an excerpt on my blog. As many of those authors write erotic romance they do share some of the words that get searched.

Most of the search words bringing people to my blog make sense. But then I got search-bombed by a blogging friend and now those search words are all over the place, LOL. May have to do a post about that.

Today somebody did a search for "witted mind" and apparently my blog came up in the suggestions. I did the same search and my blog wasn't in the suggestions. Google is a mystery since it uses analogues from their previous searches and somehow comes up with suggestions that fit their need. It's mind reading and sometimes not too well.
